Dante AlighieriRead
The Great Man... is colder, harder, less hesitating, and without fear of 'opinion'; he lacks the virtues that accompany respect and 'respectability,' and altogether everything that is the 'virtue of the herd.'

There is a solitude within him that is inaccessible to praise or blame.
